Abstract
A locker system for an entertainment venue includes a frame, one or more lockers housed within the frame, a lighting system, and a registering device that may receive a request for a locker assignment from a guest. The system also includes a processing system including one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to assign a reserved locker of the one or more lockers to the guest based on the request and activate a locker guidance module to control illumination of the lighting system to define a path from the registering device to the reserved locker.
Claims20
A locker system for an entertainment venue, the locker system comprising:
- a frame and one or more lockers housed within the frame, each of the one or more lockers comprising a corresponding locking mechanism and a corresponding actuator;
- a lighting system supported by the frame and adjacent to the one or more lockers;
- a registering device configured to receive a request for a locker assignment from a guest;
- a processing system comprising one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions configured to be executed by the processing system to cause the processing system to:
- assign a reserved locker of the one or more lockers to the guest based on the request;
- activate a locker guidance module to control illumination of the lighting system to define a spatial route from the registering device to the reserved locker;
- and
- control the corresponding actuator of the reserved locker to actuate the corresponding locking mechanism of the reserved locker.
A locker system for storing belongings, the locker system comprising:
- one or more lockers, each of the one or more lockers comprising a corresponding locking mechanism and a corresponding actuator;
- a registering device configured to assign a reserved locker of the one or more lockers to a guest;
- locker displays positioned on an outside of the one or more lockers;
- and
- a processing system comprising one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions configured to be executed by the processing system to cause the processing system to:
- display, via the locker displays, guiding imagery to direct the guest from the registering device to the reserved locker;
- and
- control the corresponding actuator of the reserved locker to actuate the corresponding locking mechanism of the reserved locker.
A locker system for an entertainment venue, the locker system comprising:
- a frame and one or more lockers housed within the frame, each of the one or more lockers comprising a corresponding locking mechanism and a corresponding actuator;
- a lighting system supported by the frame and adjacent to the one or more lockers;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the lighting system, wherein the controller comprises:
- a processing system comprising one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions configured to be executed by the processing system to cause the processing system to:
- assign a reserved locker of the one or more lockers to a guest based on a request;
- generate a spatial route using the lighting system, wherein the spatial route extends towards the reserved locker;
- and
- control the corresponding actuator of the reserved locker to actuate the corresponding locking mechanism of the reserved locker.
